i'm not saying he's underground, cos he's certainly not, but if he was pop he'd be played on the radio 24hrs a day |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
why would he be pop? its like saying- if madanna was heavy metal she bla bla... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos the majority of stuff that gets airplay is pop? |

How many people are on this board... 400 and some??? I dont think thats enough people to be considered mainstream.... I mean common... If i did a pool in the streets here.. I bet i could go thew an intire day without interviewing one person that has heard of Aphex Twin. |

an entire day? where do you live? i would find many people where i live |

i think an artist can be popular without being "mainstream". for example, do you consider radiohead to be mainstream? they sell millions of records, but it's not mainstream MUSIC. my english is not good enough to get my point clear, but i hope you can see what i mean... |

If i would interview people my age on the streets here in stockholm i bet 20% would say they had heard of him. But i allso bet that only 1% would actually own a record. And it allso depends on what streets i would do the interviews on, there are mainstrem streets and there are streets with lots of good recordshops. On certain streets i think 90% would know of him and 20% would own a record. But ofcourse im only guessing. lol |

Thats cos they lulled everyone into a false sense of security and then threw thme into the deep end. They were already high popular before kid a and arguably only got the number of people buying kid a due to their established fanbase. |

Aphex Twin may not be played on the radio, but a LOT of people have heard his name, even if they havent heard his music. It seems a lot of people on this board think Warp is the embodiment of underground, there are a lot of people out there who talk about being "more enlightened" musically than you guys the way you talk about being more enlightened musically than the general music listening public. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yup. here everyone knows him =P |
||||||||

warp is most definitely not underground, just non-mainstream is the best way ot describe it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I know, a lot of people here though seem to think they are on the cutting edge if they listen to Warp, which I think is quite funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I the music sounded the same then I'de still listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd still say a lot o hte music is cutting edge, but warp is probably if not definitely one of the biggest independent labels putting out the same knid of music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I can't spell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you mean if?????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah I totally agree they put out tons of cutting edge stuff, im just saying that listening to Warp doesnt make one some all knowing avantgarde electronica guru as some people seem to think. |
||||||||

I suppose it would depend on where you live. Here in Edmonton I have not come across anyone who has heard of Aphex Twin (that dose not include the people on this board of course). |
